A.J. K.
Business Owner
Varsity Properties was founded in 2003 by A.J. Keilty, a native of Kingston, Ontario who grew up in the hotel business. His parents still own and operate one of Ontario’s Finest Inns, the Gananoque Inn & Spa. It was while earning his Bachelor of Commerce Degree from Queen’s University School of Business that Mr. Keilty and several friends leased a typical 7 bedroom house in the Queen’s Student Village. While it was home to them, the place was a dump. The Landlord lived 3 hours away and was very slow to make repairs. Each January he looked for another home to move to, but each year was unable to find a suitably affordable, clean and well maintained properly close enough to campus. He thought, Why aren’t there better student housing options?
These frustrating experiences led him to recognize an opportunity in the student housing market. He decided to bring his understanding of the hospitality business to the student housing industry.
